This is a great pattern for a beginner in crochet, but you need to know how to work in the round. The bag can be used for storage or as a shopping bag. You can use different colours or create a stripe pattern. You can make it bigger or smaller to suit your needs. This is a fun bag that can be customized for girls, boys, men, women and seasons. Children would especially love this bag for toy storage or to play shopping games with, or make it Christmas themed to make your gift giving more personal. It could even be a trick or treat bag for Halloween. It also works up quickly (I managed it in a few hours).

This pattern is written in UK and US terminology.

The magic (adjustable) ring technique is required for this pattern to work in the round. Photo tutorial is now included on how to do this.
